Black currant in cultivation is considered an unpretentious crop. However, it is rather difficult to cultivate it in some regions of Russia because of the harsh winters and severe frosts. Thanks to the work of domestic breeders, the Ordinary Miracle variety was bred, characterized by increased frost resistance, while giving large berries and a bountiful harvest.

The bushes are vigorous, reaching a height of 2 m. They are slightly spreading, with straight branches. The culture has well-developed roots that grow in depth and breadth. The shoots are strong and strong, yellow and gray in color, with age they become bright green on the outside and white on the inside.

Leaves are bright green in color, with a smooth and shiny surface on the front side. On the reverse side - a rough plate with veins. White-yellow peduncles are collected in a brush of 13 pcs. The length of the fruit cluster reaches 11 cm, each of which forms 12 berries.

Among the advantages:

  • high productivity;
  • unpretentious care;
  • long fruiting period;
  • frost resistance and drought resistance;
  • large-fruited.

Among the disadvantages are the cracking of fruits when they are overripe and poor resistance to most diseases and pests.

Characteristics of berries

The berries are black and very large. The weight of one varies from 1.5 to 2 g. Their shape is round. The skin is dense, elastic, with a glossy sheen. When ripe, the berries do not crumble. Removal dry. They tolerate transportation well without losing their taste.

Taste qualities

The culture is famous for its large amount of vitamins and minerals. By adding a berry to the diet, the work of the cardiovascular, nervous and digestive systems is normalized.

Berries can be frozen, dried, ground with sugar, or simply consumed fresh. They make delicious jams, preserves, compotes, jelly, yoghurts, wines, liqueurs and much more.

Ripening and fruiting

An ordinary miracle belongs to the mid-late varieties. The fruits ripen in July together. The bush begins to bear fruit in the second year of planting.

The fruiting of currants depends on the variety, on the region in which it grows, what is the care for it, whether all agrotechnical measures are followed. In black currant, flower buds form on branches that are one year old. So the first small crop can be harvested the next year after planting. Full fruiting begins from the third year of the shrub's life.

Yield

The plant is high-yielding. From one bush, you can collect from 10 to 12 kg of fruit.

Growing regions

It is successful to cultivate the culture in the northern regions and in central Russia. However, it is suitable for growing in all areas.

Self-fertility and the need for pollinators

Self-pollination in the variety is below average, it is only 40%. Therefore, to get a good harvest, several currant bushes should be planted nearby.

Landing

Bushes can be planted in spring and autumn. The best time for planting is the end of September. Before the onset of frost, the seedlings will have time to take root and successfully overwinter.Spring planting is also practiced, which is started before the buds begin to swell.

The choice of seedlings must be approached carefully, since the quality of the planting material determines what the plant will be, how it will take root and what the future harvest will be. The optimal height of the bush should be 40-100 cm.

The roots should be light brown, with the obligatory presence of a central root and a large number of small roots. On the shoots and roots there should be no signs of diseases, spots, dried parts.

In order for the plant to feel comfortable in a new site, you need to carefully choose a planting site. The main thing is to follow some rules:

  • the site should be located on a small hill - the currant does not tolerate the close occurrence of groundwater;
  • bushes must be protected from strong winds and drafts, it is better to plant them near fences or other structures;
  • photophilous culture - only with good lighting the yield indicators are maximum;
  • the soil must be enriched with nutrients.

Before proceeding with planting a seedling, it is first soaked in a disinfecting solution, and then in a root formation stimulator. Bushes are planted according to the 2x2 m scheme. Observance of such a distance will allow the plants not to thicken each other.

First, the site is pre-prepared. It is carefully dug up, weeds, roots are removed, while organic and mineral fertilizers are applied. The planting hole is dug 50x50 cm in size.First of all, the volume of the root system is taken into account.

Drainage, compost with wood ash and garden soil are added to the hole, watered abundantly. A seedling is placed in the middle, the roots are carefully straightened, sprinkled with earth, tamped and well watered again. The final layer is peat, foliage and straw mulch.

Not a single garden plot can do without currants. This fragrant and healthy berry is very popular. When planting currants, you need to take into account many factors and nuances. It is necessary to choose the right planting material, determine the location, and competently prepare the soil.

Growing and care

To get a good harvest and healthy bushes, the plant needs to be looked after. Currants are demanding for watering, subcrusting and pruning. Irrigation depends on regional climatic characteristics. In the northern regions, it is watered once every 3 weeks, in the southern regions and the middle lane - once every 2 weeks. However, if there is a prolonged drought, watering should be increased.

After each irrigation, the soil is loosened to improve air exchange and the penetration of nutrients to the roots. Weeds are regularly weeded.

Fertilizers are applied 3 times per season. In the spring, when the snow melts and the buds begin to swell, nitrogen is introduced into the soil, allowing it to gain green mass. At the beginning of summer, you need to feed with compost, which improves the taste of berries. At the beginning of autumn, the soil is enriched with superphosphates so that the plants can successfully endure frosts.

The main pruning is done in the fall, after harvest. Sick, dry, fertile twigs, as well as small shoots are subject to removal. Shoots can be shortened to 5 buds to form a crown.

The variety belongs to winter-hardy crops, is able to withstand frosts up to 40 degrees. Therefore, the plant does not need special preparation for winter. It will be enough to lay a layer of mulch of 30-40 cm. If the currants are cultivated in regions with a more severe climate, then the bushes should be covered with agrofibre.

The most important step in caring for currants is the correct moisture of the crop throughout the growing season. Due to errors in watering, you can lose most of the crop and get small and tasteless berries.
Pruning is an indispensable element of caring for any fruit shrubs, including currants.If you carry out this agrotechnical procedure at the optimal time and do it correctly and regularly, the result will not slow down to affect the quality and quantity of berries grown.
Competent preparation of currants for winter is the key to a good harvest for next year. Autumn care for currants and preparation for cold weather includes the following stages: pruning, watering, feeding, treatment from diseases and pests, shelter.
In the process of growing currants, timely feeding is an important part of care. Organic and mineral elements are necessary not only for the harmonious growth of the bush, but also for the formation of the crop. During the entire growing season, the plant needs different substances, which is important to consider when choosing a fertilizer.

Currant is one of the most favorite crops of gardeners, it can be found on almost any personal plot. In order for the currant berries to be tasty and large, and the bush itself to be healthy and strong, you should properly care for, treat and protect the plant from harmful insects. It is important to recognize the signs of the disease in a timely manner and begin treatment in the early stages of plant damage.

If there is a need to increase the size of the plantings of currants or to rejuvenate the shrub, then you can propagate the currants yourself. You can propagate currants in different ways: green cuttings, lignified cuttings and layering. Each of the procedures is a vegetative propagation of currants and allows you to get full-fledged seedlings without much effort.
